Domain-wall fermions and chiral symmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate chiral properties of the domain-wall fermion (DWF) system. After a brief introduction for the DWF, we summarize the recent numerical results on the chiral properties of the domain-wall QCD (DWQCD), which seem mutually inconsistent. We next derive a formula which connects a chiral symmetry breaking term in the five dimensional DWF Ward-Takahashi identity with the four-dimensional hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator. Based on this formula, we propose a solution, which resolves the inconsistency among recent numerical data, and give a consistent picture of the chiral properties of the DWQCD.

The method of gap domain wall fermions
I present the gap domain wall fermion (GDWF) method. I show that GDWF induce a substantial gap in the transfer matrix Hamiltonian along the fifth dimension. As a result they significantly improve the chiral properties of domain wall fermions in the large to intermediate lattice spacing regime of QCD, 1 to 2 GeV. Furthermore, I argue that this method should also improve the chiral properties of ...
متن کاملStaggered Domain Wall Fermions
Staggered Domain Wall Fermions (SDWF) combine the attractive chiral properties of staggered fermions with those of domain wall fermions. SDWF describe four flavors with exact U(1)×U(1) flavor chiral symmetry. An extra lattice dimension is introduced and the full SU(4)×SU(4) flavor chiral symmetry is recovered as its size is increased. Here, the free theory of SDWF is described and a preliminary...

We investigate a U(1) lattice chiral gauge theory (LχGT) with domain wall fermions and gauge fixing. In the reduced model limit, our perturbative and numerical investigations at Yukawa coupling y = 1 show that there are no extra mirror chiral modes. The longitudinal gauge degrees of freedom have no effect on the free domain wall fermion spectrum consisting of opposite chiral modes at the domain...
متن کاملDecays with Domain Wall Fermions: Towards Physical Results
We are using domain wall fermions to study K → ππ matrix elements by measuring K → π and K → 0 matrix elements on the lattice and employing chiral perturbation theory to relate these to the desired physical result. The residual chiral symmetry breaking of domain wall fermions with a finite extent in the fifth dimension impacts these measurements. Using the Ward-Takahashi identities, we investig...
